The high-octane San Diego rock band is poised for a reunion tour, but apparently Coachella is not on the itinerary

Prepare to blast off again!
Rocket From The Crypt
, one of San Diego's mightiest rock bands ever, is apparently reuniting for a tour.

There has been no official announcement as yet, but Rocket has been dropping bombs -- make that hints -- in recent moths and weeks on its Facebook page that a reunion may be in the offing.

On late Wednesday morning, the band listed a series of European concert dates, beginning with an April 2 show in Berlin and an April 3 date in Tampere, Finland. From there it's off to France, Switzerland and Spain. (As usual, Rocket fans Albania and Lichtenstein are left holding the short end of the drum stick.)

Apparently not. According to a wry remark on Rocket's Facebook page: "We are not playing the Indio Date Festival." Then again, that could mean exactly what it does, and doesn't say: Rocket is
not
playing the
Indio Date Festival
(which takes place Feb. 15-24), but could be playing at Coachella (which takes place April 12-14 and April 19-21, and is already sold out).

Reis formed Rocket in 1989 and led the group until it disbanded in 2005. During that time, Rocket made at least seven studio albums, including two major label releases that, sadly, failed to bring the band the broader national following it deserved.

In concert, Rocket was notable for achieving a neat balance between raucous mayhem and polished precision. Its influence here is so formidable that at least one San Diego band, Circa: Now! named itself after one of Rocket's album titles.

Reis performed a sold-out Dec. 3 show at the Casbah with hot Snakes, another semi-legendary band that he leads. He is a co-owner of North Park's Bar Pink and the mastermind of Swami Records, which is home to The Night Marchers, Mrs. Magician and other bands that do, and don't, include Reis in their lineups.

Reis has a recurring role on the show as Swami, the turban-clad mystic, who introduces each band that performs on "Yo Gabba Gabba!" In the case of Rocket last fall, he introduced his own band, although (thanks to a nifty costume change) few young viewers may have noticed.

In addition to announcing its 2013 European tour Wednesday on its Facebook page, Rocket also posted a Q&A (presumably with Reis). We have taken the liberty of including it below.

Q: Will there be other shows?

A: Maybe. We will see how it goes

Q: If I have a Rocket tattoo can I get in free?

A: Yes, but only those with the new "reborn again" logo. This new logo consists of a purple phallus relieving itself on 3 rolled tacos with guacamole.
